Episode 1 Story
Kyohei, an unpopular college student, is struggling once again at a group date. Even when he brings up the only thing he’s proud of, the fact that he is cousins with the wildly popular male celebrity Ren Arisugawa, no one believes him and he gets brushed off as a liar.
When Kyohei returns home alone to his apartment, he finds Ren waiting for him in front of his door. Sensing that something is going on, Kyohei decides to hide Ren in his place. But when he catches a glimpse of Ren’s body in the bath, it’s clearly not what he expected. Ren is unmistakably a “girl”…!?
